U Sjeni Ubijenog Nadvojvode: Karlo Tersztyánsky i Stjepan Sarkotić
In The Shadow of The Archduke’s Murder: Karlo Tersztyansky and Stejpan Sarkotić

Summary/Abstract: It is most likely that the two future generals, Karlo Tersztvansky and Stjepan Sarkotić, began their friendship during the time that they both attended the Military Academy in Vienna’s New City, and that they jointly enjoyed the support of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Naturally there were many considerable differences between the two men. Perhaps the most important was that Karlo Tersztvansky was a soldier who resolutely refused every attack on anti-Habsburg sentiments, especially by Hungarian nationalists, while general Sarkotić was a constructionist. In this way, Tersztvansky and Sarkotić represented two traits of the murdered Archduke heirto-the-throne Franz Ferdinand: the aspiration of the Habsburgs to fight excessive Hungarian political demands and the Archduke’s pursuit of an appropriate model for the foundations of the state’s legal relations.
